Mitch Stamm had a long and varied culinary career but truly soared when he switched to baking.   He is a long serving board member of the Bread Bakers Guild of America, renowned baking instructor at Johnson and Wales University and has coached the very best bakers in America via the Team USA competitive baking team.

In this episode, Mark learns about Mitch's circuitous route in cooking from Alabama to Colorado, making the switch to baking and then to teaching.  They also discuss the Guild's Artisan Baking Certification program and why young bakers need to be tenacious and fearless to build a career that matters.
